4OfficeAutomation Launches EmailUnlimited 6.0

with Integrated Web Services Capabilities

New Modules Add RSS Feeds, Click-Through Tracking,

and Embedded Surveys to Email Marketing Campaigns

Carson City, NV – February 17, 2004 –  4OfficeAutomation, a provider of automated marketing tools and services, today announced the availability of EmailUnlimited 6.0, the latest version of its email marketing software, now with integrated web services capabilities. Continuing to bring advanced functionality to users of any skill level, EmailUnlimited 6.0 enables companies of any size to incorporate automated RSS distribution, click-through tracking, and embedded surveys into their email marketing campaigns.

EmailUnlimited allows businesses to develop personalized, automated email campaigns to strengthen relationships with their customers, partners, and prospects through ongoing communications. Through a single interface, users can create customized, professional looking HTML- or text-based messages using simple drag-and-drop functionality. The EmailUnlimited feature set also includes built-in list management capabilities for subscription updates and opt-in/out requests, a query builder to create highly targeted distribution lists, and an auto-responder to set up automatic follow up with selected recipients at pre-defined intervals.

With the release of EmailUnlimited 6.0, 4OfficeAutomation introduces EmailUnlimited Web Services, which offers three add-on modules that are fully integrated with the email marketing software package:

RSS Unlimited simplifies and automates the process of submitting content to Rich Site Summary (RSS) aggregators. In addition to sending out announcements or newsletters via email, companies using EmailUnlimited can now distribute their content directly through RSS news feeds, which are quickly becoming the preferred method for readers to receive news targeted to their exact interests. Though frequently referred to as Really Simple Syndication, RSS is often not so simple to set up, particularly for non-technical users. EmailUnlimited enables anyone to publish newsletter content in RSS format with the touch of a button, then automatically submits it to leading RSS newsreaders.

TrackingUnlimited provides extensive monitoring capabilities, tracking data such as total number of emails opened and the specific links clicked on by each recipient. Businesses can use this information to measure the success of their email campaigns, and identify the content that interests readers most. They can also develop targeted follow-up mailings, distributing special offers or personalized messages to recipients who have shown interest in a specific topic.  

SurveyUnlimited enables businesses to embed surveys directly into emails. Online marketers have increasingly found that users are more likely to respond to a survey that offers immediate feedback via email, rather than one that reroutes them to a separate web page. Receipts of all survey responses are delivered directly back to the sender’s inbox and processed by EmailUnlimited, which can then generate a report on survey responses, trigger automated follow up messages, or form a new mailing list based on user response.

“As the Internet continues to offer new ways for businesses to communicate and share information, it is important that our software evolves to allow our customers to tap into these new online resources,” said John Vorwerk, President of 4OfficeAutomation. “This product development philosophy is the driving factor behind the introduction of EmailUnlimited Web Services. Using these modules, our customers can easily adapt their marketing methods to directly support the preferences of their target audience. As a result, they can develop more effective, more profitable campaigns.”

In addition to the new Web Services modules, EmailUnlimited 6.0 offers a range of other new features and enhancements to improve message handling, facilitate faster distribution of mass mailings, and support more advanced list management. EmailUnlimited can be deployed on any system, works with any email client, and offers connectivity to all popular data formats, including ACT! Version 6.0, Access, Excel, Outlook, CSV, and ODBC compliant databases.

Pricing & Availability

Available today, EmailUnlimited 6.0 Professional is priced at $347 per license. 4OfficeAutomation also offers a monthly subscription option for $19.95 per month, which includes all upgrades. All three Web-Services add-on modules can be added for a single monthly subscription fee of $14.95. A basic version, EmailUnlimited 6.0 Standard Edition, is available for $197 per license.

Carson City, Dec. 16, 2003: 4OfficeAutomation Unveils EmailUnlimited 5.0 Email Marketing Software

4OfficeAutomation, a provider of automated marketing tools and services, today announced the release of EmailUnlimited 5.0 Professional Edition, the latest version of its email marketing product. EmailUnlimited offers a powerful, do-it-yourself desktop tool for permission-based email marketing, making advanced list management and interactive functionality available through a single, simple interface that can be easily mastered by users at any skill level.

With EmailUnlimited 5.0 Professional, businesses of any size can develop personalized, automated email campaigns to strengthen relationships with their customers and prospects through ongoing communications. Using simple, drag-and-drop functionality, users can create customized HTML- or text-based messages for distribution to a targeted list of recipients. EmailUnlimited 5.0 Professional offers a built-in list management feature for subscription updates and opt-in/out requests, and an auto-responder to set up automatic follow up with selected recipients at pre-defined intervals.

“We launched an interactive marketing initiative using EmailUnlimited over three years ago, and it has proven to be a key factor in helping to grow our business and maintain contact with our prospects and clients. Today, we distribute our email newsletter to over 1,000 clients and partners on a monthly basis,” said Jim Wanek, president of 4Translation, Inc., which offers publication-quality language translation services for international business. “EmailUnlimited really simplifies the entire process, from enabling us to create professional-looking HTML messages from a standard template to merging our existing contact data from Excel. It has been a cost-effective, turn-key way for us to expand our business relationships, and give a professional edge to all of our corporate communications.”

EmailUnlimited can be deployed on any system, works with any email client, and offers connectivity to all popular data formats. The functionality of EmailUnlimited 5.0 makes it even easier for users to develop and manage email marketing campaigns, thanks to a variety of new features. An enhanced user interface allows for faster, easier HTML editing, as well as the ability to personalize and preview messages before they are sent.

The new version also automates administration tasks, offering an “Intelligent Reply” feature to recognize pertinent data from incoming messages and automatically respond with order confirmations, digital product delivery, and more. Additionally, a recipient list wizard allows users to include or exclude individual recipients from a mailing with a single click, and automatically detect and remove duplicate entries. To handle opt-out requests, EmailUnlimited’s “negative” list feature removes recipients from mailing lists without deleting the contact records completely – so clients and prospects do not disappear from the database, just because they unsubscribe from a newsletter.

On the back-end, 4OfficeAutomation has accelerated EmailUnlimited’s delivery mechanism, providing direct delivery to recipients’ inboxes with no relaying – significantly speeding up message delivery time. The system’s multi-threading capabilities also allow users to send up to ten messages at the same time, enabling delivery of up to 6,000 emails in one hour through standard ISDN lines. And with expanded integration capabilities, EmailUnlimited can now support ACT! Version 6.0 and ODBC databases, in addition to Access, Excel, CSV, Outlook.

“From the start, we designed EmailUnlimited with the end-user in mind, enabling companies to automate key marketing tasks without sacrificing quality or personalization - so they can focus on running and growing their business,” said John Vorwerk, president of 4OfficeAutomation. “At the end of the day, we want our customers to be able to use our software to increase their profitability, regardless of their technical savvy or company size.”
